Dude.

I'm sitting on the upstairs neighbors' sofa, consoling a lonely and frantically purring cat on my lap. I'm a bit dazed as I work off the effects of the special brownies I baked last night: they contained a bit more of the special green stuff than I perhaps should have used. And anyway, I don't have it very often so I'm not accustomed to it like I was in my undergrad days...

Those Guittard mint chips pack a sugar wallop, all right.

Behind a cut, please.

I mean, *I* don't have a problem with it (and in fact, my opinion of you -- while high, er, I mean 'while quite profound' -- continues without the slightest impairment), an employer just might.

They can be dense like that -- misunderstanding innocent comments through misunderstanding.

Like the guy who was fired by his ultraChristian boss for calling Jesus "a Jew". Or the one who was fired for describing the stingy bursar as 'niggardly'. Or even the suspension of the network technician over labeling two hard drives "Master" and "Slave".


Recall that I was written-up, once, for using the word 'screw' instead of 'torque' in an engineering document -- so, yes, I'm sensitive to this sort of thing.

Er, *mint* chips babeh!

The irony is especially apt.

I am *fully* aware of what Madbaker is writing about; and I took pains to point out examples of ways stupid people don't actually read or understand what others -- such as in the OP -- say or mean.

Dude, you're harshing my sugar rush. Want a mint chip to mellow out?
